1. Merge PDF - Adobe Acrobat Online (web version)

   Hello Adobe,

   I just noticed that you guys have a pretty nice PDF tool online. I use online PDF tools more than my desktop tools as sometimes I am on architecture like ARM that does not have the features I need. I love the export features of the online acrobat.

   Feature Request: Merge PDFs
   Reference Website/Competitor: See attached image

2. make it easier to add alt-text to all parts of a pdf

   The process for adding alt text is rather onerous, especially for pdfs created from jpegs or other image files. It requires typing in all of the text and doesn't provide for an easy way to separate out sections of a pdf, as in a poster with a varied layout, such as a biographical poster with a photo, titles, subtitles, etc.

4. I had a PDF that looked like a spreadsheet. I asked AI to add all the copays for 2023 and 2024. It kept leaving out numbers.

   Why can't it add a simply column of numbers without leaving out a bunch of them? And why can't it just generate all the numbers in that column into a copy bod that I can copy into Excel?

5. Acrobat Reader/Pro do not properly support word-by-word selection in macOS

   1. Open a PDF containing text in Acrobat Reader or Acrobat (18) in macOS (10.12.6) on the Mac (also applies to other versions).
   2. In order to select a string of words, double-click on the first word and, without releasing the mouse button, drag in the required direction to extend the selection.

   Expected Result: Acrobat should select the word you double-clicked on, and THEN extend the selection word by word based on the direction of the dragging.

   Observed Result: Acrobat selects the word you double-clicked on, and then fails to extend the selection.

   The only way to select a string of words is to use single-click-and-drag, which of course requires higher mouse-pointing accuracy.

   It's been a bug for YEARS. No sign of it getting fixed. I've already reported it through other channels, to no avail. I guess I have to try this channel now.

6. Make selection and copying of multiple objects work like prior versions

   Prior to Acrobat DC I could add a variety of markups/items (shapes, lines, text boxes) to a PDF and then select them by dragging over them with the arrow tool and then copy them either with a CTRL-C or by holding down the control key and dragging further. None of this now works in DC and that makes it much harder to use.

7. Bullets voiced twice

   Product Adobe Acrobat DC
   Build Beta Release (Beta M44)| Version 2018.011.10005
   Platform Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
   Locale English
   State Needs Review
   Status Open
   Component Accessibility

   This report references InDesign Bug ID – ID-4204915 Bullets are voiced twice – posted by Bevi Chagnon on September 22, 2017, 6:53 AM.

   Problem Description:
   When a different bullet is used in In Design other than the 3 default bullets (round, asterisk, and lozenge), the tag tree in the exported accessible PDF has two span tags, one empty and the other with the bullet character.

   The double span tags cause screen readers to voice this as "bullet bullet" (or whatever glyph is used) when it should be just "bullet." It produces a double voicing

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Make a bullet style in InDesign.
   2. Set it to use any Unicode character, other than the standard round bullet, asterisk, or lozenge.
   3. Export to PDF.
   4. Test with a screen reader (JAWS, NVDA, etc.) and the bullet will be voiced twice.

   The extra span in the <Lbl> tag.

   Actual Result:
   Bullet bullet blah blah
   Bullet bullet blah blah

   Expected Result::
   Bullet blah blah
   Bullet blah blah

   Any Workarounds:
   1. In Acrobat Control panel, select and artifact offending “empty” span containers.
   2. In Tags panel, select top Tags and right-click to Delete Empty Tags.

   ATTACHED:
   PDF bullet test file including screen captures of Acrobat’s Content, Order, and Tags panels.

8. BUG: Acrobat "Light Theme" sub menus text color

   In the latest update pushed this week, 2024.005.20421, the Light Theme "Old" style Acrobat (Pro and Reader) version was updated to 2024.005.20421 recently. The "Light Gray" Display Theme File Menu bar highlights color changed and is hard to read the text since it doesn't change the text to White like the main window bar. When the mouse hovers over the File Menu options, the dark Blue color overpowers the text color which stays a dark gray. See attached. Before, it wasn't a blue highlight but a gray with black text.
   No changes to the Windows 11 system settings for Color or Themes would help. Currently cannot find a workaround or fix other than to use the "Dark Gray" theme but there are users who prefer the Light Theme version. I have submitted a Support case about this, E-001551000 but they referred me to submit the issue here.

10. USPTO

    This is both a bug and feature request (after meeting with an Adobe Support team member):

    This is feedback from an Intellectual Property practice group, which requires very specific Adobe specs for filing patent applications at the USPTO.

    BUG: when saving JobOptions, our settings tend to get wiped sporadically. We need our JobOptions to stick and have the ability to push them out to everyone in our law firm

    FEATURE REQUEST: from Microsoft Word, printing to PDF image directly would be very helpful. The two-step process to save to PDF and then print to image does not work for all USPTO filings and often crashes our system if we convert large documents.

    NOTES: There are other vendors in the space (AutoDocs) that use a third-party ghost script to "Print to Image" and this allows us to file our documents without issue to the USPTO. I understand that the USPTO has JobOptions for Adobe, but those do not always work for chemical structures and large documents.

12. New Acrobat Reader Slow Sluggish

    The latest 64bit version of Acrobat Reader is very slow on a larger file (13MB, 2800 pages of primarily text).
    Specifically version 2023.001.20064 64 bit.
    Loading takes at least a minute. Opening the comments panel requires 30sec.

    Moving by clicking a Bookmark is fast after everything loads. I have plenty of memory, 64GB vs 8GB used.

    Testing finds the slowdown occurs after comments have been added. And I mean only 2 comments. Even after the slow load, it requires 18sec to jump between the pages with the comments. In contrast, FoxIt Reader, is functionally instantaneous.

    Acrobat Reader is unusable in this state. I have removed it.

13. Create same workflow for "Split" pages for Application as featured Online version

    To split pages, you have 2 different workflows for the following:
    -Application (Adobe Acrobat DC)
    -Online
    Create the same workflow and copy the Online workflow version to Application because it is easier to work.

15. Acrobat steals window focus on file open (during actions as well)

    As stated in the title, Acrobat is repeatedly seizing window focus and popping back on top of the other windows when it opens another file.

    This even happens when running actions on an entire folder of pdfs.

    I have been running a set of action sequences on a folder of about 400 files for the last few days.

    My original intention was to start the sequence and then continue to work on other portions of the project while the pdf's were modified and saved.

    Instead, acrobat grabs the mouse and keyboard back every time it opens the next file (about every 8-10 seconds).

    This renders my desktop completely unusable while the automated sequence is running.

18. Arabic doesn't export well to .csv from the response collection window - bug

    I created a form in Acrobat DC Pro, distributed and collected the form successfully. In the collection window, Any field filled up in Arabic shows up properly – see screenshot (Collected-results-with-Arabic.jpg).
    However when I export all results to .csv format so I can compare all results, any Arabic text will display as dots – see screenshot (arabic-in-excel.jpg)

    I performed all above steps on Mac and Windows using Acrobat Pro DC 15.23.20056.213124 with similar results

    Arabic text should be readable in the exported .csv file

19. Minimize side bars on open

    Side Bars (All Tools & Bookmarks) compress the image when opening.
    These need to be minimized on open as there's already icons to expand them.
    At minimum there needs to be a user setting to allow individuals to set them to minimized upon open. Not all file openings occur as full screen, so those side bars 'squash' the image.

20. promote

    When "Promote Gray to CMYK Black is selected, all neutral and near-neutral grays in an RGB files are converted into a predominantly black color.

    When this function is disabled, the grays are converted into CMYK as encoded in the target ICC profile.

    The expected behavior is that only grayscale images are moved to the black channel of a CMYK image.

    The only explanation in Acrobat's online User Guide is as follows:

    "Promote Gray To CMYK Black - Converts device gray to CMYK."

    This function should not change the way an RGB image is converted into CMYK. This conversion should be governed by the choice of source/target profiles, rendering intents, and black point compensation.
